To correctly perform the maneuver of passing through an intersection, what three main phases must we distinguish?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is 'Approach, entry position, and crossing'. Every driver must know the safety structure when crossing an intersection to avoid accidents: Approach phase: The preliminary moment where we select the appropriate lane, signal the maneuver, observe traffic through mirrors, and progressively reduce speed. Entry position phase: This is the critical point and the exact spot where we stop if necessary (at a stop line, Stop sign, traffic light, or to yield) before entering the intersection. Crossing phase (Franqueo): The final action of traversing or turning at the intersection once we have ensured there is no danger and we have the right of way. This must be done decisively and quickly, but without rushing. The other options are incorrect because they use terms like 'intermediate position' or 'travesía', which do not correspond to the technical road safety nomenclature used to describe the sequence of this maneuver.
